Soulful Sunday - Shining Through Self-doubt

Soulful Sunday Newsletter 

Happy Soulful Sunday and happy May!

How has your week been?

As spring blooms vibrantly here in the UK, it’s a reminder that your inner light is ready to shine, even through the clouds of self-doubt.

Today, let’s explore how to embrace your authentic self, dust off self-doubt and step boldly into renewing your purpose.

Grab a cuppa (mine’s a smooth Italian roast) and let’s dive into a transformative journey together!

Self-doubt – the Killer of Dreams and the Smotherer of Living Fully

Self-doubt can feel like a heavy fog, obscuring the brilliance of who you truly are. It can leave us stuck, procrastinating and resisting the truth of who we are – our own greatness and purpose.

But here’s the truth: your light—your unique gifts, passions, and purpose—is always there, waiting to be uncovered.

In my coaching practice, I’ve seen clients transform by shifting their focus from external validation to internal clarity.

This May, as the world buzzes with new beginnings, let’s commit to illuminating our paths by silencing the inner critic, renewing our commitment to our purpose and embracing our core identity.

Inspired by my framework for lasting change, today’s newsletter is about identifying and releasing one self-limiting belief that’s holding you back.

Whether it’s “I’m not enough” or “I can’t change,” we’ll replace it with a powerful affirmation that aligns with your values.

Let’s make 2025 the year you shine unapologetically!

Exercise: The Light Within Reflection

• Identify the Doubt: Take 5 minutes to journal about a recurring self-doubt. Write down the thought that pops up most often (e.g., “I’m too old to start over”). Be honest—no judgment here.
• Trace the Root: Ask yourself, “Where did this belief come from?” Is it a past experience, a societal message, or someone else’s voice? Write a sentence about its origin.
• Reframe with Truth: Create a new affirmation that counters the doubt and aligns with your core values. For example, “I am capable of growth at any stage of life.” Say it aloud three times, feeling its truth.
• Anchor the Light: Place a small object (a stone, candle, or photo) somewhere visible to remind you of this affirmation. Each time you see it this week, repeat your affirmation with conviction.

How did this exercise feel?

#1: Check our my Coffee and Coaching Live on my YouTube and Rumble Channels (Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning – 11 am – live).

#2: Strategy Calls

As entrepreneurs, sometimes we just need an hour with another like-minded person to figure out what to focus on next. And to keep it simple. And to identify our next, impactful, action steps.

Sometimes you’re too close to figure that out for yourself.

How often do you take time out to move away from the doing in your business, and focus on the big picture, reviewing the dream and getting to the nitty gritty stuff that niggles you every day?

In the 1-1 strategy sessions I help you cut through the fog and get crystal clear on your next steps toward next level results - more clients, more sales, more effective marketing, tech clarity and simplicity – whatever it is for you.

If you are interested, drop me a message and I will send you full details and how to schedule a call.
